AmpliVox’s Visionary Lectern offers a 17” monitor built-in to the front of the lectern which can be used to display a PowerPoint presentation, a company brand or logo, or a full motion video to reinforce your presentation. The top reading surface of the lectern has a one touch flip up data port, that allows connectivity to a laptop with a VGA input, a 3.5 mm audio input as well as a AC power jack.

We doubled the number of UHF channels in the wireless receiver of the SW915 Digital Audio Travel Partner, from eight to 16, so you’ll have an even easier time connecting to your lapel, handheld, or headset microphone—up to 200 feet away.

We also added a new battery monitor that shows the status of the device’s built-in rechargeable battery, which lasts up to ten hours on a single charge.

Our Line Array Speakers will be offered as an accessory to the unit, so audiences can enjoy crystal clear accompanying sound.

Partnering with compatible companies around the country, AmpliVox has had its sound systems integrated into lecterns manufactured by Da-Lite Screen Company, Inc.; connected its line array sound bars to interactive Mastervision white boards from Bi-Silque; supplied speakers for computer/AV carts from the Bretford Company and MooreCo.; and mounted its line arrays to teleconferencing media carts from AVTEQ, Inc.

AmpliVox Sound Systems was one of over 100 manufacturers and B2B resellers to attend the Ingram Micro Consumer Electronics Vendor Expo (IMCE) in Scottsdale, Arizona. The annual vendor expo and charity golf outing brought together consumer electronics and technology manufacturers from across the country for a series of breakout sessions and seminars on topics related to the consumer electronics industry.

We designed the Line Array Speakers to function as both a standalone speaker system that provides stationary sound support, or as an audio compliment to today’s mobile videoconferencing and smart board systems. In the case of our partnership with AVTEQ, the result is a comprehensive audio-visual solution for your business or organization.

Our partnership has proven fruitful so far, as our speakers and AVTEQ’s LCD/Plasma videoconferencing carts look like a match made in audio-visual heaven.

Professional auctioneer Ron Bernardi relies on AmpliVox Sound System products to maximize sales in a wide variety of auction settings.

Auctions take place in perhaps the most diverse range of settings possible. From hushed art galleries to elegant charity diners to dusty cattleyards, auctioneers orchestrate the sale of goods for the highest possible price through their power to generate interest and enthusiasm amongst potential bidders.

Auctioneers face an exhausting list of vocal responsibilities during a sale. The announcement, description, and bidding of a parade of items, along with the general management of the event, all need to be fully audible over the buzz of conversation and other background noises.

Special Olympics is a global organization that unleashes the human spirit through the transformative power and joy of sport, every day around the world. Through programming in sports, health, education and community building, Special Olympics endeavors to improve the lives of people with intellectual disabilities.

The Illinois branch of Special Olympics provides opportunities for more than 21,000 athletes, 40,000 volunteers and thousands more people statewide. In 2012, the Inspire Greatness Gala raised approximately $650,000 to support those programs.

Don & Nancy c.1968

Special Olympics has been close to the heart of AmpliVox CEO Don Roth for decades. In fact, he and his wife Nancy were present at the first International Games of Special Olympics, which took place at Chicago’s Soldier Field in July 1968. Originally envisioned as a one-time event, over 1000 athletes from all over the US and Canada competed.

“It is a thrill to see how far Special Olympics has come in the decades since those first games at Soldier Field,” reflects Roth.

“This organization has inspired hope and provided encouragement for young people around the world, and made all of us appreciate the strength and determination of individuals with disabilities.

AmpliVox is very proud to support Special Olympics Illinois in all their endeavors, including the Inspire Greatness fundraiser.”

AmpliVox Sound Systems announces that its exclusive internal Rechargeable Megaphone Battery Pack has been confirmed to maintain a full charge for over a year of idle time. AmpliVox’s revolutionary lithium-ion battery pack, the first of its kind in a megaphone, will now be available in the company’s S602 and S602M megaphone products.

AmpliVox’s lithium-ion battery heralds a new generation of handheld bullhorns with talk/sirens and whistles that weigh less and deliver far longer battery life than traditional models. The AmpliVox lithium-battery powers the megaphone for up to 40 hours of typical use, and holds its charge for over a year in storage.

The rechargeable battery also cuts the weight of the megaphone unit by 30% compared to competing products that require multiple D-cell alkaline batteries and external recharge trays. Rechargeable batteries also eliminate the need to constantly replace alkaline batteries, and are far safer for the environment than toxic disposable batteries.

AmpliVox megaphones offer a host of features to support a wide range of uses.
